‘LISP’ is related to ‘ORHK’ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ‘WAND’ is related to ‘DZMW’. To which of the following is ‘BOTE’ related, following the same logic?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the relation between 'LISP' and 'ORHK'.
- L(12) → O(15): +3
- I(9) → R(18): +9
- S(19) → H(8): -11 (or +15 if considering wrap-around)
- P(16) → K(11): -5 (or +21 if considering wrap-around)

Step 2: Analyze the relation between 'WAND' and 'DZMW'.
- W(23) → D(4): +7 (wrap-around: 23 + 7 = 30, 30 - 26 = 4)
- A(1) → Z(26): -1 (or +25 wrap-around)
- N(14) → M(13): -1
- D(4) → W(23): +19

Step 3: Observing the pattern, the shifts are not consistent in direction or magnitude but seem to be a fixed pattern of shifts for each position.

Step 4: Check the shifts for each letter position from 'LISP' to 'ORHK':
Positions: 1  2  3   4
Shifts:   +3 +9 -11 -5

Step 5: Apply the same shifts to 'BOTE':
- B(2) + 3 = E(5)
- O(15) + 9 = X(24)
- T(20) - 11 = I(9) (20 - 11 = 9)
- E(5) - 5 = Z(26) (5 - 5 = 0, wrap-around to 26)

Result: EXIZ (not in options)

Step 6: Check the shifts from 'WAND' to 'DZMW':
Positions: 1  2  3  4
Shifts:   +7 -1 -1 +19

Step 7: Apply these shifts to 'BOTE':
- B(2) + 7 = I(9)
- O(15) - 1 = N(14)
- T(20) - 1 = S(19)
- E(5) + 19 = X(24)

Result: INSX (not in options)

Step 8: Try another approach: Check the relation between letters in 'LISP' and 'ORHK' by adding the positions of letters in 'LISP' and 'ORHK' to see if sum is constant.
- L(12) + O(15) = 27
- I(9) + R(18) = 27
- S(19) + H(8) = 27
- P(16) + K(11) = 27

Step 9: Check if 'WAND' and 'DZMW' follow the same sum pattern:
- W(23) + D(4) = 27
- A(1) + Z(26) = 27
- N(14) + M(13) = 27
- D(4) + W(23) = 27

Step 10: So the rule is: For each letter pair, their alphabetical positions add up to 27.

Step 11: Apply this to 'BOTE':
- B(2) → 27 - 2 = 25 → Y
- O(15) → 27 - 15 = 12 → L
- T(20) → 27 - 20 = 7 → G
- E(5) → 27 - 5 = 22 → V

Result: YLGV

Step 12: Check options, YLGV is option 4.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: YLGV.
